Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Conduct of the Persian Gulf War should be read by every U.S. military officer because it has certainly been read by the Chinese military. In 2013, the Academy of Military Sciences of the People''s Liberation Army of China issued a revised edition of its "The Science of Military Strategy" (SMS). A Chinese-language copy was obtained by Secrecy News and we translated it to English. If you read the Chinese account of the Persian War, you will see that the Chinese military was astonished at the rapidity with which the U.S. and Coalition forces defeated one of the largest and best equipped armies in the world. This was an army that had years of experience fighting against Iran so they were experienced. Still, the Chinese saw that the Iraqi army was no match for what they were up against. The U.S. and coalition success in the Persian Gulf War pretty much woke up the Chinese People''s Liberation Army (PLA) that they had better modernize if they were ever have to go up against the U.S. on the battlefield. I am pretty sure that the lessons of the Persian Gulf War were not lost on other foreign military around the world. The Persian Gulf War was really only the tip of the iceberg when we talk about 21st Century Warfare. It showed that war in the future would be complex and asymmetrical. If you did not fight in Desert Storm, this makes interesting reading. The performance of the weaponry and the professionalism displayed by the coalition forces working together was not accidental. It took hard work and careful planning. This is not a lesson we should forget. This should be mandatory reading in all the U.S. service academies. It is most probably mandatory in foreign military academies. This is Volume 2 of 3 (Total book was over 1,300 pages) and contains: Appendix T - Performance of Selected Weapon Systems Appendix A - U.S. Fatalities and Prisoners of War Attributed Directly to Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm From 3 Aug 1990 to 15 December 1991 Appendix B - United Nations Resolutions on Iraq Appendix C - Intelligence Appendix D - Preparedness of United States Forces Appendix E - Deployment Appendix F - Logistics Buildup and Sustainment Appendix G - Medical Support Appendix H - Reserve Component Forces Appendix I - Coalition Development, Coordination, and Welfare Appendix J - Special Operations Forces Why buy a book you can download for free?

Book excerpt: Pursuant to Title V of Public Law 102-25, the Department of Defense has prepared this Interim Report on the Conduct of the Persian Gulf Conflict. This report reflects many of the preliminary impressions formed by the Department since the cessation of hostilities. However, much of the technical information needed for sound analysis is still being collected. The final report of the Commander-in-Chief of Central Command has not yet been completed. Nonetheless, it is possible to describe some of the key events that occurred in this conflict and to identify preliminary some lessons to be learned. The Department of Defense will continue to study the lessons of the war and will submit a final Report in accordance with Title V in January 1992.

This book was released on 1996-09-24 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During Desert Shield, the Air Force built a very complicated organizational architecture to control large numbers of air sorties. During the air campaign itself, officers at each level of the Central Command Air Forces believed they were managing the chaos of war. Yet, when the activities of the many significant participants are pieced together, it appears that neither the planners nor Lt. Gen. Charles A. Horner, the Joint Force Air Component Commander, knew the details of what was happening in the air campaign or how well the campaign was going. There was little appreciation of the implications of complex organizational architectures for military command and control. Against a smarter and more aggressive foe, the system may well have failed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the outcome of a research project directed by Natalino Ronzitti, to explore the current status and future prospects of international humanitarian law of air warfare. This is achieved through the analysis of international customary law, the conventional provisions in force and the most recent State practice. As the most recent conflicts suggest, air warfare has known an exponential growth. However, even a rapid analysis of the international humanitarian law applicable to air warfare shows a defective and fragmentary situation. This book will fill the current gap that exists in legal literature and will critically review and evaluate recent State practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 through the years immediately after the collapse of the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001, and within the administrations of George H. W. Bush, William J. Clinton, and George W. Bush, soldiers' lives underwent enormous changes. Without the benefit of national conscription, these professionals, nurtured on stories of World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, experienced repetitive tours of duty in one combat zone after another to an extent the warriors of earlier eras could never have imagined. They fought every kind of war during this period; high-intensity mechanized war, air and heliborne raids, peace-keeping activities, urban combat, counter-insurgency operations, refugee support, and counter-narcotics operations. What makes the story of this era's soldiers all the more compelling is that these activities took place as the American military actually decreased its military strength during the period, leading to more and longer tours of duty. The book also includes a timeline to put dates and events in better perspective, a comprehensive, topically arranged bibliography, and a thorough index.

This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the concept of battle command from a modem historical perspective. It analyzes the decision making and leadership displayed by Lieutenant General Franks during the planning, preparation and execution of Operation Desert Storm to determine if General Franks exhibited the principles of battle command. Decision making and leadership are the two major components of battle command, a concept championed by Franks following Desert Storm, and, as such serve to frame the discussion. As the commander of the U.S. VII Corps during Operation Desert Storm, General Franks made decisions that had tactical, operational, and strategic implications. These decisions directly affected the lives and actions of the over 142,000 U.S. and British service-members assigned to his command. The results were overwhelmingly successful but many criticized him for being too cautious and conservative. This study investigates if the criticism founded in fact or whether General Franks was merely striking the best balance possible between decision making and leadership on the battlefield.

Download or read book Counter-Terrorism written by Ana María Salinas de Frías and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-01-19 with total page 1229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The responses of governments and international institutions to terrorism raise some of the most controversial issues of the twenty-first century. In particular, attempts to balance the desire to achieve security with the safeguarding of human rights and other aspects of the rule of law have proved to be highly contentious. This book is unique, not only in terms of its multinational, multidisciplinary nature, but also due to its truly comprehensive approach. It reviews, and examines, the interrelationship between the four principal elements of the international rule of law framework (international human rights, humanitarian, criminal, and refugee/asylum law) within in which counter-terrorism responses should occur. It focuses primarily on some of the most pressing, emerging, and/or under-researched issues and tensions. These include policy choices associated with meeting security imperatives; the tensions between the criminal justice, or preventive, approach to counter-terrorism and the military approach; the identification of lacunae within existing legal frameworks; and tensions between executive, judicial, and legislative responses. These matters are examined at the national, regional, and international levels. The book addresses a wide spectrum of issues, including analysis of key legal principles; emergency and executive measures; radicalization; governmental and institutional impunity; classification, administration and treatment of battlefield detainees; the use of lethal force ; forms of, and treatment in, detention;non-refoulement; diplomatic assurances; interrogation versus torture; extraordinary rendition; discrimination; justice and reparations for victims of terrorist attacks and security responses; (mis)use of military courts, commissions, and immigration tribunals; judicial and institutional developed and emerging rule of law norms on terrorism; non-judicial oversight by means of democratic accountability; and the identification and analysis of best practices, including inter-regional judicial and other forms of cooperation, and developed practices for the handling and use of sensitive information. Drawing together an impressive spectrum of legal and non-legal, national and institutional, practitioner, policy, and academic expertise, this book is an essential and comprehensive reference work on counter-terrorism policy, practice, and law-making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive analysis of strategic information warfare waged via digital means as a distinct concern for the United States and its allies. In the "information age," information systems may serve as both weapons and targets. Although the media has paid a good deal of attention to information warfare, most treatments so far are overly broad and without analytical foundations. In this book Gregory Rattray offers a comprehensive analysis of strategic information warfare waged via digital means as a distinct concern for the United States and its allies. Rattray begins by analyzing salient features of information infrastructures and distinguishing strategic information warfare from other types of information-based competition, such as financial crime and economic espionage. He then establishes a conceptual framework for the successful conduct of strategic warfare in general, and of strategic information warfare in particular. Taking a historical perspective, he examines U.S. efforts to develop air bombardment capabilities in the period between World Wars I and II and compares them to U.S. efforts in the 1990s to develop the capability to conduct strategic information warfare. He concludes with recommendations for strengthening U.S. strategic information warfare defenses.

Download or read book A Toolbox for the Application of the Rules of Targeting written by Tetyana (Tanya) Krupiy and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How military commanders interpret the rules of targeting impacts not only on whether civilians and civilian objects are harmed in the course of a military operation, but also on the scale of harm that ensues. Commentators have queried whether military commanders observed the law even when parties to a conflict acted in accordance with mandates to protect civilians, as was the case when a coalition of states bombed targets in Libya in 2011. However, limited guidance is publicly available on how military commanders apply these rules on the battlefield. In order to allow military commanders to exercise judgment in determining what steps they are required to take to spare civilians in a specific set of circumstances, the rules of targeting are formulated in an open-ended fashion, which complicates one’s ability to evaluate whether a particular military operation complies with the law. By examining case studies ranging from Operation Desert Storm in 1991 to Operation Protective Edge in 2014, this book addresses lacunae in current scholarship. It puts forward principles which capture how military commanders deliberate while interpreting what the rules of targeting require in particular scenarios. International humanitarian law, this book contends, places a duty on attackers to assume risk in order to mitigate danger to civilians. Drawing on the field of psychology, this study provides an explanation of how military commanders assess when circumstances do not permit them to inform civilians about a forthcoming attack.
